Fashion and Art. Two things that I love, so when I was invited to the FreewayxManansala Collection Launch at the Row in Glorietta 5, I was super excited! Art and fashion always go well together. Fashion is an art. And art can be fashion: as showcased in Freeway's newest collection in the series celebrating the works of the national artists.
The free artwork from freeway.
Divine Lee and Tim Yap hosted the event.
The collection!
the Manasala collection now available at Freeways Stores!
The newest line from Freeway features the national Artist for painting, Vicente
Manansala. The beloved well known Philippine cubist painter and illustrator, reinterpreted or indigenized cubism as he drew his themes from the familiar Filipino environment. Some of his masterpieces are Madonna of the Slums, a portrayal of mother and child from the countryside who became urban shanty residents once in the city; and Jeepneys where Manansala combined the elements of provincial folk culture with the congestion issues of the city. Manansala was proclaimed National Artist for Painting in 1982.
The concept of printing the works of the national artists on clothing is genius, immediately producing a fashionable and unique item of clothing that exudes style, and at the same time shows our love for our culture and exquisite art. :)

Catch it in the Freeway stores, and have your own piece of fashionable art. :)

I have been seeing this building when driving to Greenhills Shopping Center. Being an architect, I have always taken a second glance - I know awesome architecture when I see it, I get all giddy. :) I am so happy that in spite of the building cost here in the Philippines, some architects are still making a statement through their designs, when they could have just done a simple building. I have always thought that it was such a waste that there were so many design possibilities, but we are limited here, when it comes to construction technology and materials. So seeing the Ronac Center had me wanting to visit it. I just love checking out cool buildings, and this one definitely is on my list. Must visit soon!
See the stairs? Very Frank Gehry. :)
I have yet to visit the Ronac Center, but in the meantime, here are some pictures. I am so itching to go and visit...

From the photos that I've seen, there are a lot of awesome spaces inside the building. I love that its quickly becoming a hotspot. Will definitely find time to drop by. :)
